Hi Everyone. I know it is a bit late, but Happy 2020, wishing you a green and blessed New Year.
.
During the holidays I tried to disconnect a bit from my social media accounts/blog as I always feel I need to disconnect to reconnect.
.
As you all know, last few weeks in particular have been really sad with all the bush fires here in Australia, My heart breaks when I think about all what’s been lost.
.
However, even under these sad circumstances something that I have noticed is the enormous generosity and kindness from people all over the world: donations, fire fighters from other countries came to help, many volunteers working in the areas affected, people helping families affected and saving injured wildlife...♥ Thank you all!
.
So, for my first post of the year I'd like to inspire more kindness: last month I watched "The Kindness Diaries" and I loved it. I watched almost the entire season 2 in one go. Most of the stories are so beautiful, full of love, gratitude and vulnerability. It is currently available on Netflix and I highly recommend it. .
If you watch it, I am sure you'll be inspired to go out and spread more kindness which is so needed to heal the world we are living today 💚
.
Have you watched it?
.
Happy weekend!

Merry Xmas everyone. I wish you enjoy the holidays with friends and family 💚🎅🎄
.
Here in Australia we have had a tough bushfires season. Millions of hectares have been lost impacting wildlife, flora & hundreds of families. So It is quite sad, it is a mixure of feelings this time of the year. But well, we keep doing what we can. Hoping the future brings more positive change to address all these massive issues.
.
For now, Happy Holidays and let's be kind to our beloved planet!
.
"To enjoy true happiness all you need is a grateful heart".

We often don't do Xmas presents, however some years when we share with friends/family who like gifts, we participate.
.
Last year we agreed on presents but playing Secret Santa, so instead of buying for everyone, we only bought one present.
.
Experiences are a great alternative to stuff but secret santa often has a limit and it is not very high to get them. Other great options are reusable items or home-made items...However it all depends if the person is going to really use them.
.
Being thoughtful about presents is important. I remember being shocked reading this stat from @therogueginger book "Waste Not Everyday": "More than half Australians - 53%- have admitted tp throwing away a Christmas gift"
.
Last Xmas, one of the things I bought for a friend was a vintage item that he collects. He was thrilled, I am sure it didn't end up in landfill 😉 .
This year we managed to agree on "no presents" with our guests so there is nothing under my tree 🙂 I find shopping this time of the year (even for one item) quite stressful, so I am glad I don't have to worry about it.
.
What about you? How do you feel about Xmas presents? .

Earlier this year I bought a hand made basket from the @the.fair.trader and it was the perfect addition for my home made Xmas tree.
.
I have mentioned before that I always wanted a big fake tree. I had great memories from childhood decorating it. My green journey made me realise that buying my ideal fake tree would mean demanding more plastic... so after attempting second hand for a while we decided to make one ourselves. That was 3 years ago and my tree made with fallen tree branches is still great and we are very happy with it.
.
Sometimes we have to open our minds to other possibilities...the results may surprise us in a good way 😉

I had been looking for a second hand cupboard or cabinet to store the excess of food when we buy our groceries in bulk (as we try to go to the shop every 4-7 weeks). Looking in gumtree the other day, I found this one not far from our place and we ♥ it.
.
As we don't have room in the kitchen, we located it in the garage. I think it looks ok next to my old ikea table 🙂 .
.
I am using the bottom cabinet to store my collection of glass jars lol...I am a bit of a hoarder sometimes. I am happy that I only kept some in the kitchen and the rest are hidden here. We tend to need many of them when we cook big batches of food to freeze 🙂
.
It is hard to find a balance when you try to live sustainably and you aspire someday to own less stuff and be a minimalist. I think I am not doing that great there :s
